After spending an unforgettable Christmas, Ling Feng ushered in the first Christmas devil race of his career!

The first Christmas game is at home against Tottenham!

Tottenham Hotspur at this time is in the post-Bale era.

In the summer window of 2013, Bale, who grew up to be the best player in the Premier League at Tottenham, transferred to La Liga giants Real Madrid for a record-breaking transfer fee in order to pursue championship glory.

It was in that summer window that Tottenham used the huge transfer fee brought by Bale to bring seven new signings to the team at once.

Eriksson, Paulinho, Lamela, Soldado, Chadley, Capoue, Ziriches!

One Bale is gone, and Tottenham has been strengthened by as many as seven players in the front, middle and back!

At the time, many Tottenham fans thought Bale shouldn't leave.

But this wave of "one for seven" is indeed a good deal.

Even, Tottenham's veteran Cocos made such a statement:

"Tottenham sold Elvis Presley and bought the Beatles."

However, in the eyes of Ling Feng, a fan of later generations, the level of these new signings is uneven.

There are very unsuccessful ones, such as Soldado;

There are also very successful ones, such as Eriksen.

However, these seven people are definitely not up to the level of the "Beatles"!

Of course, Tottenham fans at that time were full of expectations and hopes for these transfer recruitments.

However, the reality is harsh.

With Villas-Boas sacked, only Eriksson, Shazli and Lamela were able to play in the squad out of the seven.

The remaining four were reduced to rotations and substitutes due to various factors.

However, scratching the lottery ticket is not just a matter of luck.

Players bought for millions of pounds can't be played, and they won't lose much.

However, Soldado's deal, which set a club transfer record, was basically a loss.

Soldado, who has beaten all sides in La Liga, has scored four goals in the first three games since arriving in the Premier League.

However, it was the highlight of his Tottenham career.

In the next dozen games, he didn't get anything.

In the forward position, he is not only unable to compete with Bam Adebayo, but is now squeezed into the third striker substitute by the team's academy star Harry Kane.

In the eyes of many Tottenham fans, Soldado's recruitment of up to 30 million euros is basically a waste.

It has even been included in the top 10 list of the worst signings in Tottenham history by many fans!

And this season, after Southampton poached young coach Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham are still adapting to the tactics and style of play of the new manager, lacking some consistency.

Fortunately, under the obvious decline of Adebayo's form and the unusability of Soldado, Harry Kane has slowly become the main striker of Tottenham this season with his outstanding performance!

Kane has scored in each of his last two league games.

Therefore, before the match with Leicester City, many people were optimistic that Tottenham could win Leicester City away.

Without him, Tottenham's recent form has been really good.

In the last six league games, except for the loss to the top team Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur has won four and drawn one of the remaining five games;

Leicester City, on the other hand, are in a slump.

Since the thirteenth round of bloodbathing Queens Park Rangers, the Blue Foxes have drawn two and lost two in the last four league rounds.

Didn't win a game!

What's more, as the attacking core of Leicester City, Ling Feng has not scored or assisted in three consecutive league games!

This has also allowed many football experts and commentators to see what has attracted attention and traffic

They have said on their personal social media or columns that Ling Feng's playing style and habits have been thoroughly studied by other Premier League teams.

In the second half of the season, there will definitely be a sharp drop in performance.

What's more, he directly claimed that "Ling Feng's good days are over!" ”

However, for the doubts of the outside world, Ling Feng's fans and fans have refuted it!

And Lineker, who has a good personal relationship with Ling Feng and regards him as his little brother in football, is on the front line of the charge:

"Some shit media, it's too much!"

In the eyes of this Leicester City legend and football senior, the media's requirements for Ling Feng are a little too harsh.

You must know that the current Ling Feng is only nineteen years old.

This talented young man still has a lot of room for improvement, but there is no data for a short time.

But in the eyes of these grandiose clowns, he has become a "flash in the pan" and "destined to fall" meteor.

In terms of performance on the pitch, he is still the best one in Leicester's team!

With confidence and patience, he can certainly get back to the form he was able to do at the beginning of the season.

What's more, goals and assists are not the only criteria to measure a player's role on the field!

After posting a lot of texts, he didn't forget to send out Ling Feng's personal data statistics in less than half a season:

No. 1 in the league in assists!

Seventh in the league in the scorer list!

No. 1 in the league in the number of chances created!

No. 1 in the league in the number of key passes per game!

The average post-game rating is 7.45, ranking fifth in the league and first in the same position!

Even if you really only look at the data, Ling Feng is definitely the best midfielder in the entire Premier League!

Not one of them!

In addition to Lineker coming out to slap his face, some of the national team celebrities and big brothers who are familiar with each other have also voiced their support for Ling Feng on social media.

David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard

Among them, Red Army captain Steven Gerrard also spoke out in support of his hand-picked midfield successor in an interview.

'I think back to my first Premier League season and I got 12 precious appearances and didn't score a single goal or assist.

"In comparison, Ling Feng's debut season in the Premier League is amazing enough!"

'Even if he didn't score or assist in all the games that followed, he was one of the most talented and talented young players in the Premier League'

After saying that, he did not forget to help Liverpool recruit the young core of Leicester City and the Three Lions:

"If Ling was at Liverpool, we might have been on the way to winning the title"

Of course, many Leicester City fans said that you can hear Gerrard's calculations in Leicester.

In addition to supporting and echoing Gerrard's interview, Leicester City fans said:

"Thanks Steven. However, Ling Feng will always be Leicester City's! ”

"Thank you Gerald, but Ling Feng is not for sale!"

"Love from Leicester! However, Ling Feng will not join Liverpool, thank you! ”

And Ling Feng himself didn't pay attention to these remarks of some media.

After all, that's what some unscrupulous media are really like!

Chase the topic and traffic, entertain the public, and don't care about the life or death of the person involved in the report!

Unconsciously, as his fame grew, almost all of his every move was put in the spotlight and under the microscope by the media.

He just didn't expect that he had only scored or assisted in three games, and he began to question his performance.

That's what surprised him!

Who do these media think he is?

Messi or Ronaldo?!

Although he is satisfied with his performance so far in his debut season in the Premier League.

However, he doesn't think he's at Mero's level.

Even the qualifications to touch the porcelain Mero are still a little bit worse.

Even if he is the new European golden boy.

However, when he thought of the virtue that the British media has always had, Ling Feng was also relieved.

If he is really just a 19-year-old genius, he may suffer from gains and losses due to the pressure of the media, resulting in a decline in performance and form on the field.

The point is that he is not!

In this nineteen-year-old young body, it is a soul of the afterlife who is nearly thirty years old!

And in his eyes, everything the media says is a fart!

Boast about yourself, just listen to it.

Question or scold yourself, just ignore it!

Don't you know your own performance?

If you have the ability of Melo, you don't score or assist in every game, let alone the media, and you will be dissatisfied with your performance.

Sometimes, though, it's counterproductive to focus too much on the data.

As long as you run relentlessly on the field, goals and assists will come naturally!

Just as Ling Feng threw all these distracting thoughts out of the clouds, he suddenly felt someone tap on the shoulder.

Turning his head, he was greeted by Mahrez's slightly concerned eyes:

"Hey, what are you thinking? It's coming soon! ”

Accompanied by Mahrez's words, the loud and neat singing in the stadium reverberated into the home team's dressing room.

Smiling slightly, Ling Feng shook his head, "It's nothing." Let's go."

Seeing Ling Feng get up, Mahrez thought that Ling Feng was still thinking about the media's questioning.

So, on the way out of the locker room and to the players' tunnel, he didn't forget to come to Ling Feng's side and comforted him in a low voice:

"Hey, man, don't take those media words to heart."

"They have no idea how much you mean to us"

"I'll give you more passes, or give me more passes, anyway, whoever we scores, it can prove to those media that you don't have a problem with your performance at all!"

Mahrez said these words with a serious face, which made Ling Feng suddenly feel warm in his heart.

"Thanks, Riad! Your support is very important to me. ”

Shaking hands with Mahrez and bumping shoulders, Ling Feng suddenly felt that the bond between the two had deepened a little.

Football is a team sport.

If the football game is a war, then teammates are comrades who can be entrusted to their backs in the war!

Thankfully, at Leicester City, he has the absolute support of his comrades such as Mahrez, Vardy, and Morgan.

Therefore, no matter whether there are stormy waves or thorns everywhere ahead, he is fearless!

。。。

When he came to the players' tunnel to line up, Ling Feng soon saw the Tottenham players wearing away yellow jerseys coming out of the tunnel on the other side.

This is the first meeting between the two sides this season.

Therefore, they are not very familiar with each other.

However, for Ling Feng, there are too many well-known stars in this Tottenham team.

Eriksen, Vertonghen, Kyle Walker, Lamela, Shazli, Bentaleb, Lloris.

From the back to the front, he surveyed over a Tottenham player.

It was finally fixed on the tall striker in the number 18 jersey!

Harry Kane!

Many people just think that this Tottenham striker has a good scoring efficiency and seems to have some potential.

Kane's brilliance is not as good as the Danish genius Eriksen, who transferred from Ajax last year!

However, among all the people in world football, perhaps only Ling Feng knows how strong this fledgling Tottenham striker will grow into in the future.

"Let's take a look at the big squads of both sides first"

"The home team's starting eleven at Leicester City, with the exception of Argentine Ulloa replacing Jamie Vardy, who was absent through injury, and midfielder Andy King replacing Cambiaso, basically did not change much from the starting XI against West Ham United in the previous round."

"Tottenham, on the other hand, have made a couple of changes"

"Danny Rose at the back replaces Ben Davis and gets a start. Pair up with Kyle Walker as a very fast wing-back. ”

"Benjamin Stemley replaced Mason as the starter, alongside Bentaleb in midfield."

"As for the forward line, replacing Adebayo as the starting center forward is the supernova of England's homegrown striker who wears the number 18 shirt and has scored goals recently!"

"Harry Kane!"

While the commentator was fully and passionately introducing the lineups to the fans in front of the TV, the players from both sides lined up from the players' tunnel and walked onto the pitch.

Suddenly, there was an overwhelming cheer in the King Power Stadium!

Feeling the enthusiasm of the Blue Foxes fans, Pochettino, sitting in the coach's seat of the visiting team, couldn't help but hold his chest with his hands,

He vaguely felt that this game was definitely not easy to play.

In fact, his instincts were right!

As Tottenham took the lead, one by one Leicester City players in blue rushed across the halfway line and pressed towards Tottenham's half!

Although the head coach warned in advance, he also repeatedly stressed that the opponent's style of play is extremely aggressive.

However, the Tottenham players were still a little caught off guard by the high pressing of the Foxes players.

Take the initiative and force the opponent to control the ball in their own half, and then make a mistake.

This is the core idea of Leicester City's high pressing tactics!

And when he learned that Stambley started as one of Tottenham's midfielders, Pearson instructed the players in the front field before the game, especially Ling Feng, who was opposite him, to grab Stembley more!

This was just the fourth game of the French defender's start in the Premier League.

Compared with another talented Algerian midfielder Bentaleb, who has good foot skills, Stambley's foot skills and ball ability are average, and he belongs to the defensive engineer midfield.

His task is to sweep and intercept at the back and act as the last barrier in front of the backline.

And his ability to take the ball and pass the ball can only be said to be average, and judging from the performance of the previous games, the former Montpellier vice-captain has obviously not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.

If he presses and presses, with his foot skills, he may make a mistake!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng happened to see Tottenham central defender Vertonghen take the ball and observe the positions of the two back midfielders, so he did not hesitate to start and accelerate!

In the next second, Vertonghen passed!

And the object of his pass is none other than Stanbley, who retreats to pick up!

Just as the ball was rolling towards Stembley, who was about to catch the ball with his back, he heard a loud reminder from his teammates:

"Benjamin, behind you!"

"Behind you?"

Before he could react, a blue afterimage flew past him.

Before he did, he stretched out his foot and stole the ball!

"Wang Defa?!"

When he was surprised, Stanbley only saw the big "7" printed on the back of the blue figure!
